The Authors of the Constitution did not think marriage was a right at all, that is why it is not mentioned in the Constitution.
For all of you ignorant, uneducated, uninformed left-wing statists (like Gulping Gator), here is a quick lesson on the U.S. Constituion. From Federalist No. 84:
“I go further, and affirm that bills of rights, in the sense and to the extent in which they are contended for, are not only unnecessary in the proposed Constitution, but would even be dangerous. They would contain various exceptions to powers not granted; and, on this very account, would afford a colorable pretext to claim more than were granted.
For why declare that things shall not be done which there is no power to do? Why, for instance, should it be said that the liberty of the press shall not be restrained, when no power is given by which restrictions may be imposed?”
For all of you low IQ illiterates on the left - allow me to dumb this down for you. In other words, your rights are
unlimited. Alexander Hamilton (the first progressive asshole ever) feared that creating a Bill of Rights would convince future generations that your rights are limited to the Bill of Rights, when in fact your rights are
unlimited. The point of the Bill of Rights was to appease the anti-federalists who (rightly) feared tearing up the Articles of Confederation and creating the new U.S. Constitution which increased the power of the federal government. They took what they felt were the absolute most critical rights, and created the Bill of Rights. But that is not the extent of your rights by any stretch. You’re rights are essentially unlimited. They end only where someone else’s rights begin.
